• Invalid Experience Proofs: Uploading offer letters or appointment letters instead of official service certificates/relieving letters showing exact tenure and pay grade.
• Incorrect Qualification Input: Applying for degree-level posts with only a diploma qualification, or submitting degrees from unrecognized/unapproved universities.
• Age Miscalculation: Exceeding the upper age limit specified for the target post without possessing eligible category relaxation credentials.
